2 Men Arrested After Teen Was Run Over For His iPad
Free download enables DreamScene in all versions of Windows 7
DreamScene enabled you to set a video file as your wallpaper -- which is cool, though I found it terribly distracting. A bit too much like trying to work atop a YTMND page for my liking, though maybe I was choosing the wrong kind of videos. DreamScene had plenty of fans, however, and they were disappointed when Microsoft axed the feature in Windows 7.
Fortunately, the ever-helpful Kishan Bagaria has provided yet another tool to help you out. Download DreamScene Activator and run the correct .exe for your version of Windows 7 (either 32 or 64-bit) and you'll be able to enjoy videos-as-wallpaper once more! Activator will also add the play/pause control to the Windows desktop right-click context menu.
Just remember to right-click and run the activator as administrator, or it probably won't work.

They say you can also use .dream files (from e.g. Deviantart), but I can't figure out how to use them...

This Dreamscene enabler is like others in that it screws up the labels for my desktop icons. Is there a fix?

DreamScene/desktop icon text fix
Make sure you ran the "Windows7-DreamScene.exe" fix before proceeding.
1) Set Folder Options to Show hidden files, folders...
2) Set *.mpg or *.wmv as Desktop Background.
3) Right-click desktop > Personalize > Desktop Wallpaper.
4) Select the hidden *.jpg.
5) Set *.mpg or *.wmv as Desktop Background again.
Works until reboot. Maybe someone can create a file to run at startup for a more permanent fix. I don't think it would be to difficult but it's beyond my capability.

This is like pirating Windows Vista Ultimate.
